Hometown Blues

I wish I'd never come back home
It don't feel right since I've been grown
I can't find any of my old friends hangin' 'round
Won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown

I spent some time in New Orleans
I had to live on rice and beans
I hitched through Texas when the sun was beatin' down
Won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown

Home is where the heart is
Ain't that what they always say
My heart lies in broken pieces
Scattered along the way

So don't think about me when I'm gone
I don't mind travelin' alonе
You are the sweetest littlе thing that I ever found
But won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown

Yeah home is where the heart is
Ain't that what they always say
My heart lies in broken pieces
Scattered along the way

So don't think about me when I'm gone
I don't mind travelin' alone
Hey you are the sweetest little thing that I ever found
But won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown
Oh sugar, won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown
